Acting as a thin mirror, Flora Hydroponics Mylar reflects nearly 98 percent of available light back to plants where it belongs. This metallic film can be taped or tacked directly to a flat surface or wall. Thicker two-mil Mylar is suited for most other applications like creating room divisions. Each roll is four feet wide. This is a 25' roll. Why pay more for cheap 1mil mylar when we offer 2mil at the same price. If another listing does not contain the thickness of their product, it is surely 1 mil Mylar. Flora only offers 2 mil Mylar. It is more durable and last longer.
A quality product with an adequate thickness, is easily mountable and is highly reflective of light. This roll covers a considerable amount of space. I checked out similar products on here and went with this one and have been very happy with it and would recommend it.

This greenhouse features a durable heavyweight cover with zipper and roll-up door. Easy to install and no tools required for assembly.
I purchased this greenhouse as a gift. I thought it was the best price for the size and quality. So far, I'm pleased with it.

Granted, this isn't a scientific claim on my part, but this material passes enough visible and IR light to navigate a fluorescent-lighted indoor space when used as sunglasses, and my IR remotes still work when wrapped in the stuff (although not as good, as you would expect). I have no idea in what part of the spectrum they are talking about when making this claim of 98% reflectivity, but I find it hard to believe it's anything in the visible or near-IR range. It would be better described as reflective tinting. This alone is my reason for the 3/5 rating.Durability is fairly good based on initial handling anyway. One side is more reflective than the other, and that more reflective side is a fingerprint magnet. Wear gloves unless you want to have your pretty surface smudged in finger goo. The other side doesn't seem to pick up prints much.Cleaning is possible with mild-soapy water and a lint-free cloth, although I don't know what is officially recommended. That worked for me.Heat can be applied to shrink it a bit. Too much and it turns to a dull gray surface, but will stay reflective to a point.It probably is 2 mils - I smashed together 4 layers and it measured between 0.0070 and 0.0095" depending on where the measurement was taken, which confirms your guess that it's not 2 millimeters as the title suggests - 1 mil = 0.001 inch, NOT 1 millimeter.My plan is to use this in a outdoor application, so it remains to be seen whether it will hold up to the elements. As they did not…
